Der britische Gesundheitsminister Wes Streeting hat Pläne zum Sturz von Labour-Chef und Premierminister Keir Starmer dementiert. "Ich werde nicht den Rücktritt des Premierministers fordern", sagte Streeting dem Fernsehsender Sky News.

Overview

  • Wes Streeting told Sky News he will not call for Keir Starmer to resign and said he supports the prime minister.
  • Keir Starmer told Parliament he leads a united team and said he is focused on rebuilding the country.
  • Anonymous Starmer allies told British media that a revolt could surface around the budget presentation, with Rachel Reeves expected to announce tax increases that would contradict past pledges.
  • A YouGov poll from 3 November reported 73 percent of Britons dissatisfied with Starmer, and national surveys show Reform UK well ahead with key local elections due in May.
  • Party rules require backing from 20 percent of Labour MPs to trigger a leadership contest, with media speculating about potential challengers including Streeting, Shabana Mahmood and Ed Miliband.
